My husband and I just spent out honeymoon for 4 days at jalousie and I have to say it was the most AMAZING resort we have been too in the Caribbean.

The place itself sits between the Pitons which was simply breathtaking! Oprah Winfrey wasnt kidding when she said it was one of the 5 things you need to see in your life!!

We were greeted by the nicest people at reception and quickly taken in a shuttle to our oceanview villa which was like the size of a small house, with a living room, bathroom with 2 showers, and a huige bedrrom facing the ocean. the best part was the outdoor patio with plunge pool off of our bedroom---once again simply amazing.....

The food at all of the restaurants was delicious and the staff was beyond accomadting to our every wish...You must take a shuttle van all over the resort as it is huge but many days we spent walking the paths where you need to watch for falling coconuts--soo cool.....The vans came in like 2-3 minutes after you called and if you were tired from walking they were always passing by...

For 2 picky new Yorkers it takes a lot to impress us but i cannot express to you all that this was the most amazing place!

My wife and I were married at Jalousie Plantation in Sept, 06.

Picking Jalousie was difficult - we had never been there. We were impressed by the ratings and reviews. We were going to have a local wedding, but it was just too stressful. We discussed going to "some tropical island" and picked St. Lucia. Some islands had too much of a chance of hurricane. Some islands had too many residency requirements or local fees for getting married. St Lucia was reasonable, and hasn't been hit by a hurricane in decades.

We were at Jalousie for a week and did something different every day. That included a sunset cruise, snorkeling, 2 trips to a waterfall, the Sulphur Seduction massage in the volcano water, the couples massage in the spa, a visit to the drive-in volcano, a visit to the botanical gardens and diamond falls, and lots more. It was the best vacation I've ever had - and although I've been to about 27 countries, I had never been in a place as naturally breathtaking as Jalousie Plantation on St. Lucia. The pictures - although amazing, still understate the beauty

After 3 days there, we had forgotten what day it was, what week it was, what month it was - and we had forgotten every worry and every care of our normal hectic lives.

We used the all inclusive option, and were really glad that we did. Food was really expensive.

The little cottage that we stayed in was delightful.

It was hot and humid and for ladies who like lots of make-up and hairstyles and dressing up all the time... it really isn't needed in St Lucia, and with the heat and humidity, it really isn't worth doing.
Plan to wear shorts, T-shirts, sleeveless T-shirts, etc. Underdress for almost everything. The notable exception is the fine dining... available only by reservation. It is worth doing, after dark, and dressing up provides a nice contrast to most day's relaxing attire.

The people were amazing. When I left St Lucia, I knew more people at Jalousie Plantation by their first names than I know in the town I live in. Everyone was SO, SO friendly... I think that everyone who works in the hospitality industry should spend a week at Jalousie to experience, first hand, how it feels to be treated so professionally, so wonderfully, and so well. Most of the people who work at Jalousie live in the nearby town of Soufriere. We knew which ones were getting married, where their wives worked, who their brothers and cousins were, and more. (the gentleman who drove the taxi that we rode in twice has a wife who runs a local bar that is on the street next to the water in soufriere... we drove by and said hello to her after buying some local art. The friendly nature of people was a bit beyond words. The friendliness of the people rivalled the awesome beauty of the location.

The food was thoroughly delightful, everything fresh, everything was well-prepared and tasty. I was glad that we had all-inclusive because it was really expensive for those who did not.

Speaking for my wife, everyone in the wedding party and for me too - our only complaint was that we couldn't stay for a few more weeks. We will treasure our vacation and wedding as long as we live.

I have one small complaint - check-out was hectic, and there were some charges on the bill that we disputed. Those charges were removed, and the bill was regenerated. I got the sense that it was routine for people to do that... so check your bill before you leave, and save the receipts - particularly if you have all-inclusive.

Upon arrival to Jalousie we were greeted by Cody with Rum Punch and cool towels. We met Efie who assured us that our honeymoon villa was in the perfect location. When we got to our villa there was champagne and fruit waiting for us. Simply beautiful :-) and the perfect start to our honeymoon. We were in villa 114 which was really within walking distance to the beach and all the restaurants. We did not go All Inclusive because after reading about all the wonderful places to eat elsewhere we did not want to limit ourselves. We ate breakfast there every morning and that was definately worth it and a couple of afternoons that we did not go out we ate at the palm where they had pizza and sandwiches. We did not rent a car but did have a wonderful taxi driver named Anatus he took us to Ladera one night and the food there was okay. The next day he picked us up and took us to the Drive in Volcano, Botanical Gardens w/ Diamond Waterfall and Toraille Waterfall and Garden and finally to the Piton Waterfall. We also dined at Mango Tree and it is true what everyone says about the food. IT WAS DELICIOUS and fairly priced. We did the Canopy Zipline and the Sunset Cruise booked through Sunlink at the resort and they were both lots of fun. Sunlink also arranged for a water taxi to take us to Castries to do our shopping one morning. Wednsday night The Bang is a must, the entertainment was great and so was the food and lots of dancing after the show. Friday night we went to Anse La Raye with Anatus and that was really cool, good food, drink and music. It was a wonderful honeymoon. Everyone at Jalousie was wonderful and everyone we had conversation with remembered our name. McGarry who served us rum punch and pitons all day on the beach was such a pleasure to chat with and Maggie at reception made sure we had a reservation and a taxi when we left the resort for dinners. All the shuttle drivers were always on point. We would call and the minute we walked out the door they were at our villa. Our room and plunge pool was always clean. At any rate I am sure you get my point. Jalousie was the place to be right between the Pitons where you can float in the Carribean Sea and look up at both of them. AHHMAZING!!!!

The jalousie Plantations greatest asset is also it's greatest liability. It is in a beautiful setting, but isolated with little inexpensive opportunity to go elsewhere. $40-$100+ pp to go anywhere. The staff was indifferent to good when dining. Food was mediocre at best with very limited choices. I was dissapointed in the "all inclusive" package as it was very restrictive. I did not feel the value met the price. The included watersorts was the best deal there. Although a lovely spot, it is unlikely that I would return there.
